Our preschoolers are learning with Mat Man! Through building Mat Man together, students are strengthening body awareness, listening skills, sequencing, and the early skills they’ll use for drawing and writing. We love seeing our youngest Guardians learn through hands-on fun!

This week, our preschoolers are learning all about colors! They went on a color hunt around the classroom and became little artists as they experimented with mixing paint colors to see what new colors they could create. Learning is extra fun when it’s colorful!

Third graders took place value practice to a whole new level with Place Value Battleship! Students put their knowledge of place value and three-digit numbers to the test while enjoying a little friendly competition. Learning + games = a winning combination!

Teaching kindergarten is like a day at the beach: sunny smiles, a few unexpected waves, and plenty of adventure along the way!

We’re so lucky to have this amazing crew making a splash with our youngest Guardians every day!

What a wonderful way to welcome our newest staff members to Gretna Public Schools!

Journey Church hosted a breakfast for our new staff, giving them an opportunity to connect, enjoy some time together, and start feeling at home in our community.

We are so excited to welcome these new members of the Gretna family and thankful for Journey Church and their support of our schools.

Thank you for helping us welcome our newest Gretna Greats and for spreading a little joy as they begin this new chapter. This is The Gretna Way in action!

The classrooms are ready, the teachers are excited, and we can’t wait to fill the halls of Harvest Hills with our students again!

Get those backpacks ready, pick out those first-day outfits, and get a good night’s sleep. We’ll see you bright and early tomorrow morning!

96 of our special education paraprofessionals gathered at Gretna East High School for a day of professional development as they prepare to support students throughout the 2026-27 school year.

This is an incredibly dedicated group of staff members who bring compassion, patience, and commitment to their work every day. They live out Gretna Public Schools' mission to unconditionally accept all students and maximize their potential.

We are grateful for the important role they play in supporting our students and for the care they bring to their work each day.

Thank you for all you do for our students and for being such an important part of The Gretna Way!
